For the 25th anniversary of the IBM PC, they put together a list of the most
influential computers of the last 30 years. Some of the II's contemporaries
made the list (TRS-80 Model I, Atari 800, MITS Altair 8800) and some of
Apple's later products made the list (Mac Plus, PowerBook 100, 2nd-gen iMac,
eMate), but the Apple II reigned supreme:
The Apple II wasn't the first personal computer, or the most advanced one,
or even the best-selling model of its age. But in many ways it was The
Machine That Changed Everything. On all four of our criteria--Innovation,
Impact, Industrial Design, and Intangibles--it was such a huge winner that
it ended up as our Greatest PC of All Time.
